Horrible squealing!!
Horrible squealing!! I have this squeal that is STILL giving me trouble! I've systematically replaced all the parts that are driven by the belt and it hasn't changed!!?? 
At least I had an excuse to get a Meziere WP! The squeal only starts after the car has been warmed up and driven for a while. A vacuum leak was finally suggested to be a possibilty...and it looks like the only light shining on this problem. I disconnect the hose going to the brake booster and it stops, connect it back and it immediately starts again. It is a LOUD squeal! Sounds just like a belt, but I can't pinpoint a location for the sound!? My idle also wants to hunt for a RPM all the time and it will want to stall when I come to a stop. Is there any tricks to tracking down a vacuum leak? BTW, I have no belt on the AC and the airpump deleted. Somewhere it was mentioned that there is a fitting or something you have to plug when removing the a.i.r. pump? Can anyone shed any light on this?

A few people are telling me to spray something flamable like brake cleaner around the vacuum hoses to find a leak (if there is one). As far as the belts go...I only have the main accessory drive belt, and I took it off and started it up (no belts connected) and still had a squeak. Alternator, power steering, water pump, all tensioners were not spinning. I unhooked the brake booster hose only because it was the easiest to locate and I know it's using ALOT of vacuum. By unhooking the booster it relieves pressure on a much smaller leak (the one making the noise)...in theory!? Does that sound plausible? If I have a pinhole leak somewhere making a whistleing (or squealing) sound and I remove the vacuum by making a much bigger leak somewhere else (booster) the "whistleing" goes away.
If this is a possibility, what's the best way to track down a small leak?

Can u upload a vid of that noise? My car seems to be making a annoying noise too when it gets warmed up. Especially when i'm in neutral. My car is in the shop to find out where that noise is coming from.
